Court Theatre

Location

In late 2021, Protranz successfully completed critical early works for the new Court Theatre building involving complex ground decontamination and site preparation in a sensitive central city location.

Our experienced team, extensive fleet, and end-to-end capability saw us successfully deliver what was a complex site remediation and civil project.

The challenge

The site required careful removal of varying levels of contamination, including asbestos-containing materials, while maintaining strict environmental controls given its location adjacent to key facilities like Te Pae Convention Centre and Tūranga Library.

Our solution

Protranz took the lead on the:

Installation of sheet piling along property boundaries to enable safe excavation

Removal of approximately 1,480m³ of asbestos-contaminated material

Management of 1,110m³ of other contaminated materials

Construction of a 1.0m engineered gravel raft foundation

Implementation of comprehensive dust and environmental controls

Why it succeeded

The project showcased our ability to:

Successfully manage complex contamination issues in an urban environment

Work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders, including the council and neighbours

Maintain strict health, safety and environmental standards

Leverage previous experience on similar central city projects like Te Pae and Tūranga

Complete works efficiently while minimising disruption to surrounding businesses
